"Glitter Sandwich" Feat: China Glaze "Sunshine Pop"

So...i uploaded these pictures like....days ago...and forgot to make a post with them, because i was hungry that day, and my giant jar of apple sauce was far more important at the time. I'm determined to empty it by the end of the week because i reallly want the jar its in. I have a thing for glass jars, and i don't have one this big yet....don't judge me. Enough about my apple sauce jar... This mani was my "glitter sandwich" for a Polishaholics weekly challenge. I took a rather unconventional approach to this well recognized method.

For this mani...

China Glaze "Sunshine Pop"

Nabi "Black Glitter" striper

Blue Cross "Black and Silver Pumpkin"

Essie "Waltz"

SUNSHINE POP!

I don't like yellow. On my. Okay, i lie. I've never worn yellow before. I love this polish though! I love ALL the Electropops. If there is one collection i adore, it's this one. Sunshine Pop is from the Brights portion of the collection and is one out of two shimmers. This is two solid coats. Out of all the the shades i have used so far this was the most temperamental formula, but honestly, it's not bad at all.

I took my Nabi "Black Glitter" striper and made various lines of random lengths from the tips of my nail to about half way up. I enjoy this. And i do believe you'll be seeing a lot more of this type design from me.

I used this Halloween Pumpkin polish made up of silver micro glitter and black round glitter all over my nail. I had to use two coats because this is a weak glitter. I'm not incredibly fond of it.

I then sandwiched it all between Essie "Waltz." I never use this polish because it's so sheer, and odd, and i don't have a used for it other then this. When i bought it i thought it was more opaque. That was forever ago, before i was addicted.

Reptar Feat:Sally Hansen "Green with Envy"

I'm a horrible blogger. I don't have a bottle show of Sally Hansen's "Green With Envy" for you. In all honesty i didn't even plan on posting this until i realized i have seen this color before. It was on the tip of my tongue and i finally got it. These photos are crappy because clouds were coming in and it was basically dark out side when i took these, but you have to trust me when i say that "Green with Envy" is an absolute Reptar green. If you don't know what Reptar is, he's a dinosaur cartoon character from the Rugrats cartoon shown non-stop on Nickelodeon in the nineties. I was no doubt my favorite show, now i have a polish reminder of my childhood. :)

 Atop "Green with Envy" is Nabi "Lavender Sparkle." I got this in Chinatown, for a dollar, i should have got more and now i need to go back. This polish is obviously not three free. It smells similar to Kleancolor polishes, which i don't mind, but it makes me feel evil inside when i lick my nails to see it they're dry...Don't judge me. This is two coats of "Green With Envy" and two coats of the "Lavender Glitter."

 

For the hole day i had this mani on, i loved it. Purple and green are my favorite colors. Green cremes are recently my new favorite things in the world, and of course glitter. Who could live with out glitter. If there was ever a nail look that described the inner me, i think this would be it.

What mani says "This is me" to you?
